"みなさん、「無気力試合」って知ってますか？
私も知らなかったのですが、「無気力試合」とは、意図的
に試合を負けにしたり試合に勝つために全力でやらなかった
時に下される内容らしいです。"

Basically all usage of it I can find refers to matches where 
either side tried to lose on purpose.

also (mostly) matches 無気力相撲, in daijs: 敢闘精神に欠ける相撲。
本場所で監察委員会がチェックし、故意の場合は懲罰を科せられる。</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Yes, that's the meaning that's all over the Japanese press. I'll put it back, and keep GG5's as a second sense.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I don't think GG5's glosses are correct. Can't find any support for that meaning.
Not necessarily losing. Could also intentionally play for a draw.</upd_detl>
